Français : Tapis à décor de médaillons - 1520-1530 - Turquie, Anatolie, région d'Ouchak - Chaîne, trame et velours : laine, noeuds symétriques, densité 2500 noeuds/dm2 - L. : 5,48 m ; l. : 2,62 m - Musée du Louvre, acquisition, 1995 - Inventaire :
MAO 959 Cet tapis à médaillons sont réalisées à partir de cartons dessinés par les ornemanistes de l'atelier des arts du livre avec des références aux reliures ou aux enluminures. Le motif de la bordure permet d'établir une datation. Il s'apparente en effet en partie à celui en pseudo-coufique tressé du groupe de cinq tapis ouchaks considérés comme les plus anciens. Toutefois seule la base de cette écriture est présente, le nœud, remplacé par une fleur de lotus ; ce nœud - très présent vers 1510-1520 - situe ce tapis dans la période immédiatement postérieure, à partir de 1520 (copié du site du musée du Louvre). Le fonds bleu nuit met en valeur un médaillon rouge mêlant fleurs hatayi et palmettes rumi, encadré d'autres médaillons d'un bleu plus clair, partiellement coupés, qui semblent se poursuivre sous la bordure.

Court carpets such as this Usak medallion carpet were based on designs supplied by calligraphers and illuminators. The border pattern allows us to date the piece: there are some similarities with a carpet with braided pseudo-Kufic script, from a group of five Usak carpets thought to be the oldest in existence. However, only the base of the script has survived, and the knot is here replaced by a lotus flower. The knot in question is omnipresent between 1510 and 1520, a detail that allows us to date the Louvre carpet to the period immediately following this, starting in 1520. |
